[ 419 TEST E-MAILS ]
Got a new bulk e-mail program you'd like to test?
I have several and I wanted to test them on 419 scammers,
Below are some e-mails that I sent out to several thousand known
scammer e-mail addresses over a period of a few days
Now I know that most 419 scammers are fairly lazy and don't generally
make up their own initial solicitations. Rather, they like to steal
these from other scammers and adapt them for their own use. I
decided to make up my own (totally unbelievable) 419 scam e-mails
just to see if some of them will steal it and adopt it as their
own.
If you happen to receive a slightly altered version of any of
the e-mails published on this page, please contact me.

Subject: Major Martins Koma needs your help
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This
letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real and you
will realise this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify
you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.
In a brief introduction, My name is Stuart Pidass, personal
attorney in London to Major Martins Koma, an astronaut of the
Nigerian Air Force.
In 2003 he departed earth onboard the Mars Rover, Spirit. Seven
months later he arrived on Mars.
Before his departure, he deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000
(Eleven million, six hundred thousand United States dollars) in
four safety galvanized boxes in a financial institution which will
be disclosed to you upon your acceptance of our proposal.
Since his departure to Mars, Major Martins Koma has been diagnosed
with terminal cancer of the uterus which has defiled all forms of
medical treatment. Since he only has a few months to live, he has
decided to remain at his present location and donate all of his
fortune to a church organisation or good person that will utilize
this money the way that I will impart to you later.
In return for your assistance, I will authorize you to keep 30% of
this fund plus 10% to cover your expenses.
You should contact me immediately at my email address with your
address and telephone number and I will give you my telephone
number so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible.

MRS.MARYIAM ABACHA
COURT GIDADO ROAD
KANO - NIGERIA
Your kind attention please
Beloved
In Good Faith I Contact You.
I have seen war and I have seen peace, I have seen riches and I
have seen people die of Hunger on daily bases. And I am quite
certain that life is vanity.
Hello. I am Mrs.Maryiam Abacha, wife of General Sani
Abacha,ex-military Head of State of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
Most people think that my husband is dead but he is very much
alive. In June, 1998 a strange UFO landed at our house and some
Martians emerged and inserted their anal probes into my dear
husband. Then they kidnapped him and took him with them back to
Mars.
Since the disappearance of my husband, my family had been subjected
to all sorts of harrassment and intimidation with lots of negative
reports emanating from the government and the press about my
husband. The present Government has also ensured that our bank
accounts are frozen and all assests siezed as they think he is
dead.
In his last email to me from Mars he told me that he has contracted
HIV 1 and 2 i.e. full blown AIDS because of the Martians anal
probing and he has only a few months to Live and that I should find
someone to assist me who is trustworthy and God fearing. It is in
view of this that I seek your co-operation and assistance in the
transfer of the sum of Thirty Million U.S Dollars only
(US$300million Only)being the very last of my family fund in my
possession and control.The Federal Government have seized all our
properties and frozen all our accounts both local and
international, but my only hope now is the available US$30 million
cash, which I carefully packaged and deposited with a security
finance company in Abroad. My purpose of contacting you is for
someone who after transfering the funds,will be able to invest the
funds on my husbands behalf till such a time when he dies and his
lifeless body is returned to earth. Your benefit I can assure you
will be very substantial.
Please ensure to keep this proposal very secret and confidential
for obvious reasons and send to us your private telephone and fax
numbers for easy and confidential communication. I await your kind
response to my mail.
Thank and God bless you mightly Sincerely yours,
MRS.MARYIAM ABACHA

FROM THE DESK OF
MR.KEVIN MONTA,
AUDIT AND ACCOUNT MANAGER,
UNION BANK NIGERIA PLC,
STALLION PLAZA LGS.
Dear Friend,
Compliment of the day and how is life general with you? Of course
it is my humble wish to solicit and crave your indulgence to make
this project request for a joint business transaction which I hope
will not come to you as a surprise, hence I plead for your pardon.
Really, I believe you are a highly respected personality,
considering the fact that i saw your profile from The International
Trademarke Association profile database on your country in the
internet. Please kindly accept my apology today.
I am Mr. Kevin Monta, the Auditing and Accounting Unit,Foreign
Operations Department Union Bank Of Nigeria, PLC. I have an urgent
and confidential business proposal for you. On June 6, 1999, an
Australlian oil consultant/contractor with via National Petroleum
cooperation (NNPC) Engr. Herbert Buttplugg made a numbered time
(fixed) deposit for twelve calender month valued at
US$15.500.000.00 (Fiften Million Five Hundred Thousand US
Dollars)in my branch. This deposit was to secure the Australian
contractor's bid for the job of constructing a pipeline from
Nigeria to the planet Mars to supply Nigerian oil to the Martian
oil refineries.
On maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarded address
but got no reply. After months we send a reminder and finally we
discovered from his contract employee (Nigeria national petroleum
Corporation) that Engr. Herbert Buttplugg had been sent to Mars to
supervise the construction the facility at the receiving end of the
new pipeline on that planet.
About a year into his contract on Mars, Engr. Herbert Buttplugg had
been reportedly been abducted by some Martians rebels for their
sexual enjoyment. His contract employer has since discovered that
Engr. Herbert Buttplugg had died at the hands of his ruthless and
horny captors, having suffered many serious injuries which defiled
all forms of medical treatment. On further investigation, it was
clear that he died without making a will. All attempts by the
Australians to trace his next of kin were fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Late
Engr. Herbert Buttplugg did not declare any next of kin or
relations in all his official documents including his deposit
document in my bank. The total sum of US$15,500,000.00 is still in
my bank as dormant acct. No one will ever come forward to claim it.
According to Nigerian banking law, after 7 (SEVEN) years, the money
will revert to the ownership of the Nigerian Government.If the
account owner is certified death and nobody comes forward to claim
it.
This is the situation, and my proposal is that I am asking for your
assistance to stand in as the beneficiary/next of kin to Late Engr.
Herbert Buttplugg, for us to transfer the money. Please. All you
have to do is immediately send me the details of your company bank
account anywhere in the world for me to arrange the proper money
transfer document. The money will then be transferred into the
account for us to esterblish more companies in your country.You do
not need to worry, its risk free and I guarantee that this will be
executed under a legitimate Arrangement that will protect you from
any breach of the Law.
I am using my position and connection in the bank here to do all
the document work for the transaction. We shall employ the services
of an attorney to draft the will and obtain all necessary documents
and letter of Administration in your fovour for the transfer. This
transaction is risk free guaranteed. If you are interested, please
reply immediately confidentiality and be rest assured that this
transaction could be most profitable for both of us. This
transaction reqiures utmost confidentiality and secrecy.
Once again, call me or give me your reachable phone number as soon
as you recieve this mail. Or I think it would be better if you can
give me a call on my phone, or better still give me yours so that i
can call you for us to discuss at length.
Please Get back to me as soon as you can. Email:

Queensley Rhoda
Online Coordinator
UK National Lottery Sweepstakes
International Program
Email: uklotteryclaimsdepartment_2005@yahoo.co.uk
Status: TOP SECRET - For your eyes only
Dear Sir,
My name is Ms. Queensley Rhoda. You may have heard of me. I am the
online coordinator for the UK National Lottery Sweepstakes
Corporation. I have held this position for almost twenty years.
Recently I have decided to retire from my esteemed position at the
corporation. This is primarily due to my ill health. I have been
diagnosed with testicular cancer, which, according to my team of
physicians, was likely caused by my handling of all those big
coloured balls during the course of my job over the years. My
illness has defiled all forms of medical treatment and doctors have
predicted that I have probably just a year to eighteen months to
live.
During my extended period of time with The Lottery, I have managed
to secretly embezzle quite an impressive sum of money from the
corporation, approximately $240,427,000.00 USD (Two Hundred and
Forty Million, Four Hundred and Twenty Seven Thousand US Dollars)
in cash. I have secured this cash in six rather large, sturdy
galvanized metal boxes at a security company located somewhere on
the planet Mars, the exact location of which I shall impart to you
later if and when you agree to assist me.
What I would like to do is move this consignment out of its present
location and into your country. This is where I'll require some
outside assistance and this is the reason I have contacted you. I
have received information from one of my colleagues that you are
reliable and dependable and that you can be trusted, not only with
handling an enormous amount of money such as this but with keeping
this entire issue very confidential.
In return for your assistance, I will authorise you to keep 30% of
this fund plus 5% to cover your expenses.
As an aside, since my husband has long since passed away, it has
been quite some time since I have been sexually active. Now I am
told that you are a realy sensual person. Frankly, I'd like one
last wild sexual fling before I succumb to my illness whether you
are a man or a woman. I hope that if you agree to partner with me
concerning the consignment, you will also be receptive to the idea
of a wickedly delicious romantic affair, however brief it may be. I
assure you, I am still quite physically attractive.
I am truly expecting your reply via electronic mail at
queen_rhoda13@yahoo.de or please feel free to telephone me anytime
at +447031947455 or +448707379294
Sincerely yours,
Ms. Queensly Rhoda

Subject: This is a lucrative proposition for both of us
Dear Friend and Business Partner,
This letter might come as a complete surprise to you because we
have never met either in person or by correspondence. I got your
contact through some discreet inquiries from a member of the
Chamber of Commerce and Industry who was part of a delegation to
your planet for a trade exhibition and he gave me gave your
enviable credentials/particulars, although I sincerely believe the
Almighty has brought us together for a great purpose. Consequently
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you for the
benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret
because of the nature of this information.
First I must tell you that my name is Mr. Kim Heebum, a resident of
Mars. I have attached my photo in this email. As you can see, I am
Martian by birth. One of my ancestors was the infamous Martian
pirate, Captain Long John Heebum who sailed the seas of Mars and,
along with his vicious crew, pillaged its seaports and raped its
women from 1678 to 1716 AD. During this period of time Long John
had amassed much gold and other treasures but he died in 1718 of
aids which had defiled all forms of medical treatment. Over the
centuries since his demise, rumours of his buried treasure and a
treasure map have survived and I have taken it upon myself to
strike out in search of this missing treasure. I have re-created
this treasure map and have attached a scan of this re-creation to
this email as proof of its existance and to indicate to you the
exact location of this buried treasure.
Last year I was fortunate enough to comandeer the Mars Rover Spirit
which had inadvertently crossed onto my property and which I and my
recovery team were able to adapt for our own use in the search and
recovery of Captain Long John Heebum's buried treasure. Just three
weeks ago I and my team have recovered approximately 360 kgs of
gold bars and another 419 kgs of gold dust. I have also included
photos of our find as proof of this.
I have not revealed our find to the communist Martian government as
they would surely confiscate it. My intention is to smuggle this
fortune to Earth and herein lies my dilema. I require a resident of
Earth to assist me in aquiring a spacecraft of sufficient size to
transport these treasures to your planet. I have made arrangements
with the US space agency NASA to lease one of their space shuttles
for use in my endeavour. Unfortunately we have been unable to
arrange for the payment of the lease as NASA refuses to accept
MasterCard and Visa credit cards.
This is where you come in. I will require you to send the first
lease payment to my NASA contact on earth who is located at NASA's
Herbert J. Buttplugg Space Centre in Abuja, Nigeria. In return, I
am prepared to give you 35% of everything that we find. I will also
reimburse you for all of your expenses. The remainder will go to me
and my recovery team.
For obvious reasons, I must ask you to maintain a high degree of
confidentiality in this matter. If you are for any reason not
interested, kindly inform me immediately so that I can look for
another contact.
Please contact me at my alternative email: heebum@spray.se
Regards,
Mr. Kim Heebum

Subject: Do not fail to read and reply to this message
Hello
I pray that this email reaches you in the best of health. This
letter may come to you as a surprise due to the fact that we have
not yet met. The message could be strange but it's real and you
will realise this if you pay some attention to it. I want to notify
you about it at least for the sake of your integrity.
My name is Major Mike Opala, a direct and only remaining member of
the wealthy Opala family. I am an astronaut with the Nigerian Air
Force and on loan to the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).
In 2003 I left earth aboard the Mars Rover, Spirit. Seven months
later I arrived on Mars.
Prior to departing earth, I deposited the amount of US$ 11,600,000
(Eleven million, six hundred thousand United States dollars) in
four safety galvanized boxes in a European financial institution
which will be disclosed to you upon your acceptance of my
proposal.
Last year, during the course of my research on Mars, I was captured
by a group of rebel Martians who inflicted great torturous pain
upon my body with anal probes. After a few weeks of enduring the
physical pain, they released me. As a direct result of this
cruelty, I am now very ill with a ruptured uterus that has defiled
all forms of medical treatment and which has been deemed to be
inoperable by my Martian surgeons. I am writing this mail to you on
a laptop from my hospital bed in the Martian capitol of
Zhwrong.
I now have but a few weeks to live and I am far too ill to endure
the long and arduous journey back to my Nigerian home. Therefore I
have decided to donate the bulk of my fortune to a church or
charitable organisation that will utilize this money in the manner
which I shall impart to you later. In return for your assistance, I
shall authorise you to keep 30% of this fund for your trouble and
aggravation plus an additional 10% to cover your expenses.
You should contact my attorney in Nigeria immediately with your
address and telephone number and he will give you his telephone
number so that we can make arrangements as soon as possible.
